Terminator TV-series

Yes you read that right, according to The Guardian there's going to be a Terminator TV series based on Sarah and John Connor and placed between the second and third movies, it's billed as - wait for it...

...not be a guns-and-car-chases series, partly because of the reduced budgets on television: "There's going to be a healthy dose of both [action and family drama]," he said, noting that the Terminator franchise "has a lot of big ideas in it that don't cost you a dime to explore".

He is in fact Josh Friedman the writer of Chain Reaction, War of the Worlds and The Black Dahlia.

Hamilton is not expected to reprise her role. And neither is Arnold Schwarzenegger.

No surprise there, but that's not all, because there's talk of tying in with the Terminator 4 movie in development, and the exact quote is...

the show's producers said that a fourth Terminator is in development and that the series will have a link to what's being envisioned as a new feature trilogy.

That's from the show Producer James Middleton. A new trilogy of Terminator movies? Well Arnie won't stand three, maybe one. There's definitely a handover of the Terminator body then, perhaps one more with Arnie bowing to the new model?

Either the 3rd movie or the tv series better show how they got the Terminator's looking like Arnie, Loken and Patrick. The back story is that they were captured soldiers and stripped of their skin to be cloned onto the Terminators. A camero for those actors will be nice in that sense.

But, I will be very happy of the 3rd movie Terminator will be Loken. A captured one and preprogrammed just like what happened in T2.

eventhough Blade is still knid of new, i dont think it will catch on go will just fade away. however, both Stargate (SG-1) and Buffy the Vampire Slayer did fairly well (Buffy has 7 seasons / SG-1 is in its 10th or 11th) with out the original actors.

it depends on how the writing and direction is handled. still too early to tell but i might pay attention when it starts (if it starts...)
